Oldham Face Newcastle In Pre-Season

It's been confirmed that Oldham will take on premier league outfit Newcastle United in pre-season.

Newcastle will come to Boundary Park for a midweek pre-season friendly in mid-July with the sides meeting for the first time since a league cup meeting way back in the 1997/98 season when Oldham were beaten one-nil.

The friendly will take place on Tuesday 15th July with a 7:45pm kick-off. Details on tickets will be announced during the summer.

In other Oldham news, Jonathan Grounds seems destined for the championship.

The fullback, released by Oldham at the end of the season after over 100 appearances since his arrival from Middlesbrough, is being linked with both Blackburn Rovers and Birmingham City.
